Special Mention.

All the advancement of the age we owe
TO men who are progressive and determined
to succeed, and no undertaking has been
attended with better results than the i'm
portation of English stock into this coun-
try. Messrs. Vaughan & Williams. repre-
senting James Kay, of England, have now
in this city herd of sixty Hereford cattle,
twenty-five of which are on exhibition at
the Park, west of the grand stand. A
sketch of this celebrated herd at this par
ticular time may prove of value to many
visitors to the State Fair. The entire
lot, wth the exception of the calves,
were imported direct from England
last February. The herd traces its blood
directly back to the foundation of the Eng
fish Hereford herd book. The females
comprising the band all inherit the best
Hereford blood obtainable, every animal
descending from royal prize-bearing sires.
This family of cattle has the reputation of
being the best beef cattle, on pasture, in
the world, and does produce the greatest
amount of beef from the smallest amount
of bone. AS to their milk-producing quail.
tiles, Mr.. Vaughan says if they are brought
10 the pail the same as other breeds, they
cannot be excelled. He further refers TO
the records, which shows that at the first
royal show of England, held at Oxford in
1899, the first prize was awarded TO pure
bred Herefordscow. Another fact worthy
of mention is that these cattle are not over
fed or pampered but are in good thrifty
condition. Before concluding this article,
we desire to call the attention of stockmen
to the celebrated bull Novelist" the finest
in the world, and one of the importntious
of this herd. He is now four years old and
weighs twenty-eiGht hundred pounds, is
valued by Mr.. Vaughan at 5000. In addi-
ton to this animals fine show qualities he
is valuable as stock getter, which is evil
denced by the fine heiiers and calves now
on exhibition. About thirty head of these
cattle are for sale. Henry Vaughan is
one of the heaviest importers of English
stock Ill America, having shipped in the
last seven years to the United States and
Canada over 1000 head of all kinds of
blooded stock. Mr.. Vaughn is claimed to
be one of the, best judges in the business
1t is his purpose to visit England this fall
and import further consignments. We
would advise stock men who
may desire fine stock to confer with him at
once, as it will be to their advantage.
Vaughan q Williams, also representing
Andrew Smith, OF Redwood City, show
some fine imported Berkshire pigs and
shropshire Down sheep, all selected from
the best blood in England; both pigs and
sheep have never been beaten in class or
for sweepstakes. Yesterday, at the Payil-
ion, MIR. Smith was awarded by the COM
mittee the first prize for roll butter.

consequence thereof most excellent must
be the horse to attract especial notice Such
one, however, is Exchange. the imported
